Ernest’s travelogue

Salaš 137, Čenej

Salaš 137, Čenej, is a farm (salaš) inn and restaurant near the city of Novi Sad in north-central Serbia. Traveling north from Belgrade, you enter Vojvodina, a mostly autonomous province of Serbia.

Vrelo Bosne

Vrelo Bosne is a spring and beautifully green park at the source of the River Bosna, twelve kilometers southwest of Sarajevo in the suburb of Ilidža. If you don't have a car, it's best reached by taxi and can be combined with a visit to the War Tunnel Museum.

Blagaj

Blagaj is an astonishingly beautiful spot at the base of a cliff where the Buna river seems to flow magically from the towering rock. The water is a gorgeous blue-green, and nestled beside it is a 16th century Dervish monastery called the Tekija.

Sarajevo

Sarajevo is capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, well known as a host of the 14th winter Olympic games in 1984, a multicultural city that grow up on the line of interaction between the orient and the west, preserving traces of all the empires and cultures that shifted with each other over the centuries. Assassination of Austrian Emperor Ferdinand by a Serbian terrorist in 1914 marked the start of the 1st world war.
